People who have survived heartbreak…how’d you do it?

It’s been a week since the person I love told me they realized they don’t love me back after 8 months together, and that they still love their ex from before me. I oscillate between devastated and enraged—both with lots of crying.

If you’ve survived a heartbreak, how did you do it? Were you able to love again? Be happy again? When did it stop hurting so bad? Is there another side to come out on?

Love to all 💓❤️🫶🏻

The emotional roller coaster is totally normal. Therapy helped me a lot.

If I could go to therapy every day I would 😂 I never thought I’d look forward to it every week. It’s been the best thing through this process 🩶

Same! It’s like the one thing I didn’t think I needed but it’s been such a savior.
